nope not a straight fit, iv recently fitted some STi winglets to my blob wrx bumper.
The winglets have tabs and fixings on the inside, which slot into slots and fixing holes on the STi bumper, which the WRX doesnt have.
Some people cut slots into there bumper in the appropriate places, and break off the other fixings....however I decided to simply cut off all of the tabs and fixings, and simply bond the winglets in place and bolt in from the end and underside. Havent had any problems.

I did find some good guides on the net but cant seem to find them now. You basically wanna cut the top tabs flush with a stanley knife, then remove the poppers along the edge and remove the 3 brackets by gently prizing them up with a large screwdriver (they look like they have plastic rivets holding them on, its obvious once you have them)
I already had some P1 bonding stuff in my toolbox, but id recommend tigerseal, its fairly cheap on ebay.

You wont need to cut anything, just bolt on.

I can include the fittings for you. They are fairly simple to fit. The holes are already in the wrx bumper so you just bolt on to them. The top part has a self adhesive strip that sticks them to the bumper and job done.
